Welcome to the Dirt Road Gardener’s Weekly Cozy & Collected Finds

Features vintage, antique, primitive, and lifestyle finds from resale, garage sale, flea market, and junk picking adventures. Whether I use them as-is or upcycle them into something entirely new, each piece has a story—and a second chance at life.

Gathered Over Time

Each Monday, we pull back the curtain on the pieces that make a house feel like home — gathered from flea markets, garage sales, and the hands of loved ones. This week’s feature is a walk through family history.

Resale Gold & Raised Beds

What started as a trip to grab raised bed soil turned into one of the best thrift hauls of the season. A $37 stop at Salvation Army scored Hey Dudes, Rae Dunn, a sun hat, and a rare Frankoma pottery piece — all brand new or collector-level cozy gold.

☀️ SUN TEA & SERENDIPITY

A $3 garage sale score off the river road turned into a daily porch ritual. This vintage solar tea jug might be small, but she steeped her way right into my cozy little world — and she’s worth far more than the price tag.
